Summary Over the course of her career Danuta Shanzer has contributed multifariously to the study of late antique and medieval Latin, as scholar, teacher, conference organizer, and journal and series editor. Author of a ground-breaking commentary on Book 1 of Martianus Capella's De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii and co-translator (with Ian Wood) of the letters of Avitus of Vienne, she has produced important articles on a wide range of Latin authors and texts, from Augustine to Gregory of Tours. The contributors to this volume honour Shanzer's achievement with studies related to her scholarly interests. TABLE OF CONTENTS Gregory Hays, University of Virginia - Introduction Roger S.O.
